THE MUSTER IN OF THE
WASHINGTON CAD EFT
CORPS.

When General Albert Ordway
advanced to the edge of the plat
form in the Armory of the Wash
ington Cadet Corps on Wednesday
evening last, 283, strong right
hands we're raised in testimony
to the oath of allegiance. 20
officers of the line and staff were
also present, and but for the
heavy rain storm which poured
furiously the entire evening, at
least Is or 100 more would have
been present, while quite a large
number had left the city for the
summer. No election was held, as
Major Fleetwood already occu.
pied his proper rank, and his
muster will date from October
1864.

THE WASHINGTON CADETS.
THEIR PICNIC AT BROWNS PARK MON
DAY JULY 4TH.

1t was published several days
ago that the commissioners had
decided not to grant any more
permits for picnics at Browns
Park. This is true, but on account
of the past good record of the
Washington Cadet Corps, Major
G. A. Fleetwood commanding,
Capt. J. W. Dabney, chairman of
the committee of arrangements
has received a permit from the
commissioners allowing the Ca
diets to have a picnic at this park,
Monday July 4th. This is very
commendable on the part of the
Commissioners as the Cadets al
ways give first class entertain
ments, picnics, SC. 1t is hoped
therefore since the Commissioners
have made an exception in the
case OF the Cadets and will allow
them to give their picnic at this
park July 4th that the people
will visit the park in full force
and give thema rousing reception.
Refreshments will be at moderate
prices, music will be rendered by
Prof. Krause. Capt. j. W. Dab
ney. chairman of the committee.

dred members of the above corps.
the two hundred and fortieth man,
answered to his name, and was
mustered in as part of the orga
nized militia of the District of Co.
lumbia, taking rank as to date OF
muster, with the Washington Light
Infantry Corp, whose commanding
officer, together with several mem.
berS of his staff accompanied Gen'l
Ordway to the Guards Armory,
and remained during the muster.
Owing to the large number present
for muster, the armory was unus-
ually crowded, and this being no.
ticed by Col. Moore, he stepped to
the side of Col. Revells, and offer
ed him the use Of his armory, which
was declined with thanks, owing to
the lateness of the hour. After the
muster was over, Col. Revells in
vited Genl Ordway, Col. Moore
Capt. Allison Nailor and others, to
the elegant restaurant, corner OF
18th and E sts., and there enter
tained them in royal style with the
delicacies of the season. 1t would
have been a fine sight for the Vicks

uniform, seated at the head of the
table, with Gen'l Ordway, at bis
right, and Col. Moore at the oppo
site end surrounded by his staff

rubbed their eyes, to make sure
that they were not deceived, but
they quietly accepted the situation

VANESS PARK.

Since the opening of this park
by Mr.. Marcellus West, he has
endeavored to make it respecta-
bic in every particular. He has
not allowed ladies and gentlemen
to be insu,ted nor will he allow
anything to GO on of which the
most virtious would be ashamed.
For this the colored people don't
seem to give him that encourage
ment and support which he is en-
titled to- He keeps his park in
first class order and for that rea-
son alone the colored people should
patron;ze it. 1t is a place where
ladies or gentlemen ever can visit
without the least suspecion or
without being insulted if they
behave themselves. There is moth
ing to matter with the West, BROS,
and it is the earnest wish of the
Bee that they will be patronized.
Vanness park Is historic, If you
would like an evening or an after
noon of pleasure, visit this pleas
ant park, where you are favored
by the calm breeze from the Po-
tomac and entertained by the
singing OF the birds.

A MUSICAL PRODIGY.

The 'EMusicalen given by Miss
Alice Strange, at her residence,
500 z ST., II. W., OH Saturday eve.
June Is, to introduce the talented
young viOlinist, Mr.. William Cook.
was a pronounced success, and all
who braved the excessive heat and
crowded her parlOrs ON that oc
casion, felt amply repaid for their
discomfort. Those who took part
in the program of the evening were:
Mr.. William Cook, violinist, with
Miss Alice Strange as accompanist,
Miss Sallie Waring, sOloist, Mrs.
Hillyer, Miss Eunice Wormley and
Miss Blanche Washington, of the
Carreno Club. Of the eight num-
bers on the program four ere filed
by Mr.. Cook, with selections from
the compositions of DeBerriot,
Weiniowski and Vieuxtemps, and
his inter pretations were a revela-
ton to all present. He played
with depth of feeling, power, pa
thos and brilliancy, indicating alb
sOlute genius, when it is remem-
bered that he has arrived at his
present standing after but two
years of study. The writer has
had the pleasure of listening to De-
BerriOt's 6Var, as rendered by
some of the great mas ers, among
them Ole Bull, and can say ,nsci-
entiously, that never has that com
posit o. given him more pleasure e
than as rendered by Mr.. Cook.
The bowing and execution were
simply marvellous. The ligh and
shade, delicacy of touch, AMI beau
tiful finish OF the cadeDza passages,
betrayed a musical conception,
that will place him on the tOpmOsl
round of the ladder of fame. in
time, if his opportunities for ai
vancement continue. In appear
ance Mr.. Cook is tall and graceful :,
modest in bearing, and drea my
cast of countenance, indicating a
poetic nature. 1t is understood
that he desires to pursue his stud
les in Berlin next season, and a
movement is on foot looking to
wards concert here, for the double
purpose of allowing the citizens
generally to enjoy the musical
treat, and to assist him practically,
in carrying on his studies. He
will also cOncertize in Richmond,
and Petersburg. Va. The support
rendered Mr., Cook, by the ladies
filing the other numbers on the
program, was admirable. Miss

WHAT Is A MUGWUMP?
MAYOR COURTENAY OF CHARLESTON
ANSWERS TrBY TELLING A LITTLE STORY

Among the members of the Board of
Visitors to West Point this year was DR..
VIM. Everett of Massachusetts. He is a
bright clever man and a son of the distin-
guished American orator Edward Everett.
At the banquet given to the Board OF
Visitors during the closing exercises at
the Academy, the Doctor took OCCASION
to inform the guests that he was a Mus- =
wump, and wanted everybody to know il i.
This statement brought Mayor Courtenay
of Charleston, S. c., to his feet, and lie
said it reminded him of story. About
the time the Mugwump first sprung into
existence an English lord was visiting this
country, and devoted much attention to
the study of our institutions and manners
The constant use OF the term 'Mugwump," -"
during the political campaign attracted
his notice. so one day he made bold to
ask an American friend what the word
"Mugwump' meant "a Republican who
votes the Democrat ticket" was the reply.
And what doyou call Democrat who votes
the Republican ticket" next inquired the
curious Englishman. "I'd call him dam
fool" was the friends prompt response
The guests are said to have enjoyed the hit
immensely, With, perhaps, the possible
exception of the Mugwump from tie Bay
State.--'New York Snn'---

GRAND LODGE

Knights of Pythias-The New Officers.
 The officers elected for the ensuing year by
 the Grand Lodge, K. of F., at Bridgeport
 Tuesday, are: Dr. W. H. Beebe, of Bridge
 port, grand chancellor; George M. Deming,
 of Hartford, grand vice chancellor; Joseph Rood, of Jewett City, grand prelate; William L. Morgan, of New Britain, grand master of exchequer; and Horace O. Case, of Hartford, grand keeper of records and seal. MT. Case has held the position for number of years, and has discharged the duties of the office with great earnestness and fidelity. His rank in the order is that of @ past grand chancel- Tor, the honor having been conferred on him at the session of the Supreme lodge at Montreal upwards of 8 year ago. The grand chancellor, Dr. Beebe of Bridgeport, is well known in the order and will make an excellent chief officer. Vice Grand Chan cellor George M. Deming, of Hartford, has had the best interests of the order at heart for years and has been one of it's most suc cessful promoters there. He was of the originators of the Mutual Benefit asso- citation of the order, and is at it's head as president. He has also held the position of deputy grand chancellor for this district dur ing a number of years, and has been person. ally associated with the members and inter ests of the lodge in the jurisdiction. At the next annual session he will unquestionably be advanced to the grand chancellorship.
 The grand master -at-arms is G. B. Law renee of Waterbury, grand inner guard, AL derman E. Wines of New Haven, and grand outer guard Daniel H. Brown of Fair Haven. The latter was presented with purse of $88 25 donated by members of the Grand lodge. The grand keeper of records and seal was paid $75 for extra services in instituting new lodges and visiting others.

THE AMERICAN BOARD.

Another Human Sacrifice to Secretary
 Alden's DOgma-An Appointment as
 Missionary Rsefused R. c. Morse of
 Yale Theological Seminary More
 Reported Des MOines Instruction.
 The prudential committee of the American board have refused appointment as a mis- sionary to MT. R. c. Morse of the Yale Theo logical seminary. MT. Morse was recently licensed to preach by the New Haven Central association of Congregational ministers by a unanimous vote. He bears high reputation among those who know him and was strong ly recommended to the prudential committee by Yale theological professors. His case has been pending for months, but the same day in which the committee consented that Nr. Hume might go back they refused to allow MT. Morse's appointment. They claim to be acting under instructions received at Des Moines. The theological statement which MT. Morse gave to the committee under which they acted was brief, and is now given to the public by his friends. It will be seen that it is less positive with regard to future probation than the positions assumed by MT. Hume. It is as follows:
 II am not prepared to affirm that all those are lost who do not receive the gospel in this life do not believe that the Bible teaches such doctr!ne teaching is that now is the day of salvation Thls teaching it is my purpose to teach All mean with reference to the hypothesis of future probation IS that do not know. Practically it affects neither my
